But we don't know when in Q1 it is going to release.

Right what I'm saying is We'll get a date for Pikmin 3. I'm not sure we'll get one for Luigi's Mansion 2

EDIT: havent had a chance to get it yet. if anyone does, can they let us know how big the file is? i might have to wait on getting it if its a big update.

MOD EDITDo not initialize this update in system settings. It's downloading in the background automatically. You can check Download Management under the Home Menu if you'd like to know that it is, in fact, downloading. This way, you can carry out your Wii U business as normal.

My system is fully updated. It's about 586MB. I think it made apps like Miiverse, eShop, Bowser, etc a tad faster. WiiU Menu also takes shorter time to get to. Counted 10 seconds vs previous 30. At least, in my case.

Hm, maybe it is for set up for tomorrow. They did say NiD coming to 3DS late this year. I'd hope this is what's happening. Maybe a true universal eShop for Wii Shop and eShop... Not getting my hopes up though.

I wonder if they are doing real patches, or just throwing whole new versions of files on the system like the did with the wii.

If the later, then a basic system might fill up pdq.

edit: finished update. some things are quicker. but I counted 25 seconds from "close software" to to back to the wiiu menu. hitting the home button is basically just as quick. it feels they are waiting on network responses or failures for some apps. or maybe are doing weird write operations.

Considering Nintendo publicly said DLC hooks would come in December for certain developers (I believe that was it) this large update seems to fit that bill quite nicely I'd say. Considering it's also addressing system lockups and whatnot, I'd say it fits the other foot as well.

As for the Virtual Console, it's just a guess. It's Thursday. The day the shop updates every week. Considering there are 3 ND's, it means there will be joint announcements, most likely involving the eShop. Considering Thursday ND's result in 'hey, X is on the eShop RIGHT NOW' I'd say it's a fair guess that the Wii U Virtual Console is starting up soon.
